MEET OUR FOUNDER

Meet Lizz Rene - the creator of PO’ UP! Card Game. The daughter of immigrants, Lizz is a proud first-generation college graduate and alumna of the University of Georgia.

Lizz launched PO' UP! Card Game in November of 2020. In the midst of racial justice movements, protests and demonstrations, one motto prevailed that inspired PO’ UP! Card Game - “Black joy is a form of resistance."
